Finite element analysis on tunable solid/fluid phononic crystal for surface acoustic wave bandgaps with various fluid heights

In this study, the propagations of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in two-dimensional solid/fluid phononic crystal (PC) structures were investigated.The PC structures are composed of a periodic sequence of hollow pillars deposited on a semi-infinite substrate, which can be filled with various kinds/heights of fluid.Finite element analysis was used to

HuR-mediated nucleocytoplasmic translocation of HOTAIR relieves its inhibition of osteogenic differentiation and promotes bone formation

Abstract Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation and osteoblast function play critical roles in bone formation, which is a highly regulated process.Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) perform diverse functions in a variety of biological processes, including BMSC osteogenic differentiation.Although several studies have reported
